A novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around the adventures of three spirited young women, Patricia, Louise, and Beth, who are the nieces of a wealthy and eccentric uncle, John Merrick. Seeking a change of pace from their usual lives, the trio embarks on a summer vacation filled with excitement and the unexpected challenge of launching a local newspaper in the quaint town of Millville. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Mr. Judkins, the station agent at Chazy Junction, who encounters a mysterious hobo while awaiting the arrival of John Merrick and his nieces. The girls soon arrive, showcasing their vibrant personalities and determination to rejuvenate the sleepy town through the establishment of the ''Millville Daily Tribune.'' As plans come together for this ambitious newspaper venture, readers are treated to a lively depiction of the town's quirky residents and the girls' efforts to navigate the complexities of running a daily publication, all while embracing the adventures that their summer has to offer.
